Skin Recovery Balm

Skin Recovery Balm is redefining the moisturizer, proving that moisturizers don't have to be heavy and greasy to correct dryness. This advanced formula creates a protective, moisture-locking seal that stays put all night long in a luxurious, greaseless emulsion. Powered by our proprietary Barrier5 technology, this moisturizer restores skin from deep within, using five methods of barrier repair to keep skin looking healthy and more radiant. Ideal for dry, sensitive, aging skin types in need of intense hydration and continuous barrier health maintenance.

Why Renée made it

"My research shows many top moisturizers only sit on the surface feeling greasy, failing to address underlying dryness. I created an innovative formula that redefines dry skin moisturizers—and I'm confident you'll love it!"

This light beige, fragrance-free added balm has a luxurious creamy feel. As it dries down, the balm will feel slightly tacky (this is the unique 'second skin' affect). Once it melts into the skin, it now provides a long-lasting, moisture-locking seal without an unnecessary greasy after feel.

How is Skin Recovery Balm different than Glow Enhancing Creme?

Glow Enhancing Creme moisturizes dry, aging skin for a natural glow. Skin Recovery Balm offers the same benefits, but with a far more advanced formula that restores the skin using Barrier5 technology, enhancing glow without unnecessary excess oils. It's a far superior, moisture-rich formula. If you prefer a dewier finish, add a few drops of a skin oil on top , but Skin Recovery Balm alone provides all the moisture retention a dry skin type requires.

How is Skin Recovery Balm different than Phytolipid Comfort Creme?

Phytolipid Comfort Creme moisturizes dry, sensitive skin. Skin Recovery Balm offers the same benefits, but with a more advanced formula that restores the skin barrier using Barrier5 technology, reducing irritation and sensitivity without unnecessary excess oils. It's a far superior, moisture-rich formula. If you prefer a dewier finish, add a few drops of skin oil on top, but Skin Recovery Balm alone provides all the moisture retention a dry, easily-irritated skin type requires.

How is Skin Recovery Balm different than Rest Day Masque?

Skin Recovery Balm is a moisturizer for daily barrier health maintenance, while Rest Day Masque is a deeply restorative weekly masque (or can be used more often) for correcting visible dryness and flaking caused by retinoids, chemical peels, and other drying topical treatments. In a regular skincare routine, they work synergistically to give your skin everything it needs for maximum moisture and comfort.
